Hi :)
Could those translations be pushed through in the equiv of Service Pack 1? It seems a shame to waste the ones that have been done even if future plans are to avoid doing them.Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Kubuntu Docs removed?


Hey everybody!

During the last release cycles no translations were included for Kubuntu
Documentation. Now it seems that the package has been removed from
Kubuntu completely [1]. Can anybody confirm this?

So all of our translations were basically a waste of time?
If so, it would be great if you could remove the Kubuntu Docs templates
from Launchpad's translation overview page [2] for Ubuntu Raring and
future releases.

Hi,

Just to clarify the things, it was obvious that the translation of Kubuntu docs is a waste of time even 1.5 years ago. Despite maintainers promises, even the English docs (to say nothing about the translations) were not packaged for all releases. In IRC logs of #kubuntu-devel you can find plans to make translations available through the web-site or as PDF but that was never happen. Kubuntu team is really underpowered at least for documentation.

Current docs contain many outdated and misleading advices. Examples: installation procedures, development recommendations, configuration procedures, recommended application lists.

On the other hand, Kubuntu is one of those distributions that does not change KDE much. So KDE documentation can be translated in a common way [1] to be packaged with KDE applications (regretfully, Debian/Ubuntu packages docs separately from the applications, so the user should install them first) or on UserBase [2]. KDE docs are available online through docs.kde.org [3] (as HTML and PDF, both English and all translations) and UserBase.

The current status of the common KDE docs can be tracked using a special page on TechBase wiki [4].

The only Kubuntu-specific application without documentation is Muon. Please send a message to [email protected] [5] to help us with Muon documentation. The KDE documentation format is DocBook but you can write your docs in any format you like (even on UserBase wiki page). We will convert docs to DocBook when you're sure it's ready and commit it as needed for the inclusion into Ubuntu or any other distribution packages.

Should you decide to help with Kubuntu-only docs (updating and packaging) please consider to join #kubuntu-devel on freenode IRC and contact Darkwing (the current maintainer).

Best regards,
Yuri
